Need of Consumer Protection Act, 1986

Poverty And Unemployment: – In the developing country most of the customers are poor and unemployed. They accept anything which is offered to them at a low price. The poor consumers are the most harassed and the most helpless creature in India.

Illiterate Consumer: – In developing countries like India most of the consumers are uneducated and illiterate. They cannot differentiate between pure and adulterated products. The consumer cannot read the contents, date, price, quantity, etc. So they blindly on the information of the suppliers.

Consumers Are Note Organised: – Another reason for more requirement of consumer protection in India is that in India consumers have not yet organized themselves to have powerful consumer movement. They are lack of effective agencies to secure redressal of their grievances.
